Real Living recipe for potato gratin.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp butter
8 unpeeled potatoes, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
300ml cream
300ml milk
1 cup grated gruyère cheese
3 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
Salt and ground black pepper
METHOD
1. Grease your cooking vessel with butter then evenly layer potatoes and garlic in it.
2. In bowl, mix together cream, milk and cheese with thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes.
3. Cover cooking vessel with foil and rest on hot coals of fire, or place on barbecue and close hood. Cook for 1 hour or until potatoes are soft. Remove foil for final 15 minutes of cooking for extra-crispy top. Serve hot.
We cooked our gratin in an old army-issue aluminium pan, which can be placed directly over a naked flame. You could also make it in a camp oven.
